Chapter 98 Zhao Zhen applies what he has learned
The officials lowered their heads, feeling secretly ashamed. They realized that they had not fully fulfilled their duties as censors.
Jin Shuai sighed and said, “You’ve lost here. You haven’t truly put yourselves in the shoes of the Great Song. His Majesty builds a commercial street and a workshop area, and you think it’s a waste of money and resources. Then let me ask you, where does the annual tribute come from? Where does the military expenditure come from? Where do the officials’ salaries come from? Are the expenses for border repairs, river reinforcements, and the people’s basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter to be raised by your mouths, officials? Or are they to be squeezed out of the people?”
The officials' faces turned grim upon hearing this. They were deeply moved by Jin Shuai's words and were momentarily at a loss for words.
Jin Shuai continued, "You may say this isn't your duty, but I want to ask you, as members of the Great Song Dynasty, don't you want the Great Song to become strong? Don't you want the people to live a life of plenty? Don't you want the Great Song to be peaceful and harmonious? Have you seriously considered these questions? You might think about the girls in brothels, or who to impeach tomorrow, but I doubt you think about whether the officials are tired, whether the people are suffering, or whether the soldiers are hungry." Jin Shuai asked three questions in a row.
"Your Excellency, please stop. I know I was wrong. I have failed His Majesty and the people," said an official.
"Hmph, you should be glad I'm young and not very cunning. When you really start acting recklessly, have you thought about your fate?" Jin Shuai asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Excellency," the six said in unison.
Jin Shuai continued, "It's because of your unwavering opposition that many officials are inactive. After all, how can doing nothing be wrong? Once this model succeeds, the country, businesses, the people, and officials will all benefit." His tone was firm and powerful, as if he were full of confidence in his point of view.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Can I go home now? I'm still a little sleepy! My head is a bit foggy." Jin Shuai suddenly turned to look at Zhao Zhen, a hint of fatigue and helplessness on his face. Zhao Zhen almost burst out laughing, thinking to himself, "This kid, he's taken down a prime minister and six censors, and he's still not awake." Zhao Zhen could only cough awkwardly, trying to ease the embarrassment, and said, "My esteemed ministers, does anyone have anything else to ask Viscount Zhiyong?"
At this moment, a minister in red robes stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, may I ask you about the manufacturing process of the carriage?" His eyes revealed his eagerness and curiosity for the new technology.
Jin Shuai smiled and replied, "No, it's copyrighted, and any infringement will be prosecuted." His answer was concise and clear.
The minister in red seemed somewhat confused, then asked, "My lord, did you understand the rest? What does copyright mean?" His question piqued the interest of the others, and everyone turned their gaze to Marshal Jin, anticipating his explanation. Marshal Jin smiled and asked, "Have you studied four-wheeled carriages? How was it? What was it like trying it out?" His question made the minister in red fall into deep thought, as if recalling the scene when he tried out the four-wheeled carriage.
“Yes, this four-wheeled carriage is more stable, more comfortable, and more suitable than a two-wheeled one…” the minister in red said.
"Alright, you're not authorized to copy this. It's intellectual property, understand?" Jin Shuai said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, what is intellectual property?" the minister in red asked.
"I can answer that for you," Zhao Zhen replied with a smile. "Intellectual property is like a property deed, proving that the house belongs to you. It protects the legitimate rights and interests of the inventor, although it hasn't been formalized into law yet. I'm already discussing the draft with the Central Secretariat."
